In this paper we present the recent advances in understanding of microscopic mechanisms driving resistive switching ReRAM devices using ab initio theoretical methods. We highlight complex interplay between interface reactions and charge injection generation oxygen Frenkel pairs during forming step. Energy barrier calculations suggest that formation/destruction conductive filament can be due to movements vacancies composing or interaction with atoms released from metal electrode.

La fondation du droit chez Rousseau et Kant : cet intitule est deja, semble-t-il, porteur d'un point de vue : parler « fondation » au singulier, n'est-ce pas des l'abord prendre parti contre le jugement Philonenko, pour qui tout rapprochement entre Kant tient la fable ? On pourrait toutefois legitimer en s'appuyant sur les frequents temoignages reconnaissance philosophique a l'egard Rousseau. Il apparait plus que deux philosophes mobilisent pri...
